you can get her speech therapy. interesting how you picked up on the term word retrieval. do games with her like "let's list things that you find in an ocean" and take turns listing things, or "things you might find in a grocery".

if you do get her speech therapy, make sure the therapist knows how to address this issue and she is not causing your child to feel pressured to come up with the word, which could cause stuttering ch'v.

there is also a book called Listening and Learning by Linda Maoed Bell, not sure of author's name spelling, but that book is supposed to train pple on how to think differently so they process differently
